nematome During lunch I ran back to the hotel to change rooms. This is my third room, and I’ve only been here six days. Hopefully it’s the last one, unless I check out and back in during the time Steve is visiting next week. Right before leaving work, I noticed that dancing tonight started at 9:00PM, … Read more
I had a good evening. I went with Sam to eat at Thaifoon. Yum. Yum. I had the Pad Thai dish. Don’t know what was in it (shrimp was the staple), but it was good. We shared an appetizer of spring rolls before dinner, and the dinners come with a complimentary dessert — some delicious … Read more
Happy Halloween. A lot of people dressed up at work today — under severe pressure from Kim. She had a few headbands (cat ears, mouse ears, etc.) and several cans of spray paint. Those who arrived to work without a costume early enough were lucky to get a headband. Those who arrived later, got their … Read more
Spent an hour with Brad, the trainer, going over installation and configuration. He was quite engaging despite seeming yesterday to not really want to do the session. I thanked him for his energy. I met another whole bunch of folks today. Too many names to remember. I started the update of the UNIX installation guide. … Read more
I met Kim at work at 8:10, 10 minutes late. As I was walking out this morning, I stopped by the front desk to tell them that I don’t think I’m in a non-smoking room, that it smells like smoke when you walk in, and I smelled smoke all night in the comforter. She said, … Read more
Robert woke me up in an mmmmmmmm way… then mmmmmm again. He dropped me off at the airport on his way back to Chapel Hill. I had a bagel and coffee after checking in. My flight left on time. I sat in a middle seat on the RDU > DFW leg, next to a rather … Read more
Realized time had changed after waking up. Slept an extra hour. Went to 11:30 mass. Spoke with Bob in the parking lot for a while afterward. Stopped by Brueggers for a bagel and coffee after church. Stopped by Krispy Kreme, and bought a dozen “original glazed” donuts. Washed clothes, and began packing for my trip … Read more
We started off at around 9:00, heading to Finch’s for breakfast. Yum. Yum. Totally unhealthy. Totally Yum. From there, we went to the Museum of Life and Science in Durham. Michael and Tyler had a ball. We started off visiting the butterfly pavilion just in time for the “11:00 butterfly release.” It wasn’t what I … Read more
I left work at 4:00, and cleaned up a little before Michael, Lisa, and Michael’s friend Tyler arrived from Jacksonville. We were hoping to go to the fair tonight, but the drizzly weather is going to preclude that. A little later than we should, we decide to go to a 7:00 movie. We rushed through … Read more
I got a lot of TCW stuff done today after work. Feel good about that. At around 8:00, I left home and went to the bowling alley to distribute flyers about the upcoming TCW “For Sale by Owner” seminar. I left a flyer per lane, but have a real sense that these folks are not … Read more
